Dry volume of cement mortar = 1.33 × wet volume of cement mortar
Bulk density of cement = 1440 kg/m3
Weight of 1 bag of cement = 50 kg
Calculation:
Given, L = 5 m, H = 3.5 m, T = 0.3 m, Plaster thickness = 0.012 m
Plaster required for both side of wall = 2 × 5 × 3.5 × 0.012 = 0.42 m3
Dry volume of cement mortar = 1.33 × 0.42 = 0.5586 m3
Volume of cement required = 0.5586/4 = 0.13965 m3
Cement bags required = 0.13965/50 × 1440 = 4 bags
